- good deal -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 11:24
- very great news! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 11:21
- Thankfully, and gratefully, this seems to be a week of good news in the ST community. - ReluctantCynic Aug 4, 11:21 1
  - I certainly am too. But throughout all of this, I was really more concerned for my mother. I mean, I care about grandma too, but I'm certainly one of - Qale Aug 4, 11:26

ST - look, I want to be friends with all but I am who I am. I'm slowly beginning to realize I might be MDH's worst nightmare. -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 10:51 27
- I realize now why I don't get along with the rest of the ST gays. They all hate being a bottom apparently. - Qale Aug 4, 11:08 7
  - Here's what I wonder... are tops and bottoms pretty stayed in their way? -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 11:22 2
    - Well, my comment specifically is referring to the way they throw the term about like it's a pejorative. It's not that I actually mind. - Qale Aug 4, 11:24 1
      - Exactly! Someone has to bottom for all us tops. - Covington Aug 4, 13:04
  - now I am wondering about the top/bottom ratio of gays in general - Epiphany Aug 4, 11:17 1
    - Yeah, I don't think it has to be even. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 11:21
  - *spray* -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 11:10 1
    - that is exactly why they do not like bottom -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 11:16
- I heart all of you, don't worry. :-) -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 10:56 12
  - I don't wear shorts too often but I like cargo pants. Half of my jeans are boot cut -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 11:02 7
    - I have cowboy boots that can only be worn with boot cut jeans. *shrug* - Epiphany Aug 4, 11:18 6
      - oh yeah, we must -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 11:22
      - your cowboy boots would look great next to my ears. -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 11:21 4
        
        so you agree you need a swift kick in the head -- nm - crash davis Aug 4, 11:23 1
        
        I don't mind it a little rough -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 11:25
        
        ~whose bed have your boots been under~ - Epiphany Aug 4, 11:22 1
        
        I wonder -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 11:23
  - what if we wear cowboy boots while wearing cargo shorts, in an "I HATE CHER" T shirt? -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 10:57 3
    - ty97 will come for you then -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 10:59 1
      - ewwwww -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 11:00
    - TOO FAR! -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 10:58
- I think that probably me. -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 10:55 5
  - crash is your worst nighghtmare? -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 10:57 1
    - only when he is driving -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 10:59
  - No, because at the minimum I'm jealous of plenty of the restaurants you check into on FB. -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 10:56 2
    - which is why you are skinner than I am. -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 10:57 1
      - I love food. It's the only reason I work out/run so much. - MDH Aug 4, 11:01
Alison Brie fans, some pictures have leaked online. -- nm - budice Aug 4, 10:48 3
- The picture she just posted of her first drivers license picture is interesting. Pixie cut at 16. -- nm* - Volnelk Aug 4, 11:19
- There's not much more to see after GLOW. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 10:48 1

The headline is clickbait, but the content is interesting esp. if you have kids/teens "Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?" -- (link) - MDH Aug 4, 10:45 18
- Unless they put out F rays, no. -- nm - Shardik the Baron Aug 4, 11:12
- I watched a 20-something mother completely ignore her 2 yo who was completely starved for attention, the other day. - Mel Profit Aug 4, 11:08
- The article is basically getting to the point that Andie(?)'s friend is getting at about posting those funny vacation photos - oblique Aug 4, 10:59
- No more so than personal computers destroyed the generation before it, and television the generation before that... -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 10:48 4
  - you still did those things with other people though. you talked about games with your friends. you talked about television the day after. - Andie Aug 4, 10:50
  - Read the article. -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 10:50 2
    - Like he can read. - Shaun Aug 4, 10:53 1

- 1970s: Has television destroyed a generation? 1990s: Have videogames destroyed a generation? -- nm - mara Aug 4, 10:47 9
  - i don't buy into any of the millennials-are-ruining-everything crap (i actually like their priorities), but i do think being raised post-smart-phone - Andie Aug 4, 10:49 8
    - Certainly a huge shift. The shift from 1950 to 1970 was huge as well, in different ways. The shift from 1970 to 1990 was too. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 10:51 4
      - but in all those eras being social meant human interaction. that is no longer true. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 10:52 3
        
        I notice it *a lot* with my in-laws. - Shaun Aug 4, 10:54
        
        specifically "face-to-face". But even as I say that, I have to refine it further. "physical contact" - oblique Aug 4, 10:54
        
        I agree, it's a completely different kind of shift. I just don't know that it's more significant. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 10:53
    - I'm mid-article but it is definitely pointing at your IM and specifically about "post-millennials" - oblique Aug 4, 10:50
    - Your IM is what it hits on, not that millenials are destroying things. More so that they interact in ways we never have before. -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 10:50 1
      - I find the conclusions about being left out quite fascinating. It is a kind of real-time middle finger - oblique Aug 4, 11:07
Telco outage update: Telus seems to believe that a major fibre line was cut. - Shaun Aug 4, 10:41 3

- Do you NOT want to be saved from yourself? -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:30 1
  - I enjoyed the books okay and really liked The Host. but I need someone to tell me The Chemist is not schlock 1st -- nm - Epiphany Aug 4, 10:53
- *SPARKLES* -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 10:29

- That is the norm. -- nm - Spawndroid Aug 4, 10:22 3
  - Not so much back home in Georgia, likely since they are kinda over it. -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 10:24 2
    - Ah. Well, the norm in Indy, Greenwood and Bloomington Indiana. I fully expect ST to say that is just a limited sample, though. -- nm - Spawndroid Aug 4, 10:32 1
      - That's just a limited sample, though. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 4, 10:36

  - This is from last night. Before he got down to his boxers he was wearing a short sequined dress. It was a fantastic set though. Later he came back - pmb Aug 4, 10:22 3
    - You got closer than I did. But it was my favorite performance of the day. - Zunk acting all 24 and sheeate Aug 4, 10:55

"Access flap" on boxer briefs? No people. Put these with boot cut jeans wear they belong. -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 10:09 41
- you have the weirdest hangups -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 10:33 13

    - spoken like someone with no calves. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 10:40 6

        my thighs have always been big, regular jeans put my thighs in a chokehold. -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 10:50
        
        Saying I'm skinny is a very nice compliment :-) -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 10:42 1
        
        skinnier than I am, for sure -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 10:43
    - I mean, I don't wear them, but I don't give a shit if people want to. - groiny Aug 4, 10:40 4
      - boot cut != bell bottoms. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 10:41 3
        
        shows how much I pay attention to jean cuts. - groiny Aug 4, 10:43 2
        
        ditto. after Kohl's basically stopped selling the jeans I bought for years my last buy was from Wrangler.com - oblique Aug 4, 10:45 1

  - heh -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 4, 10:10
jninie, you did not just call me a ruiner! - crash davis Aug 4, 10:01 9
